I see you tempt the night

I see you take a bite

You can tell me you were home

But the camera never lies.

You walk out in disguise

To pull the wool over my eyes

You play me for a fool

To believe your alibis.

And you can count on being safe as houses

Underestimate my eyes

But you can't argue with the image

The camera never lies.

There's no distance put between us

Safe enough for you to hide

I'm watching all of your secrets

The camera never lies.

I recommend first prize

For acting so surprised

For acting like you love me

The camera never lies.

I'll take my wounded pride

I'll take it on the chin

Your profile fills the frame

How good you look on film.

Smoke screens and sweet deceiving

Replace the face of trust

The shutter falls each time you meet him

A negative becomes my plus.
